But what she said really hit the nail on the head: "He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected. If you believe that, then yeah, you can run for president." Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:35:05 -0700 RSSPECT-001148559 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#seventyfive Red State Feminists have been apprised of new scientific research findings that show that the stability of a woman's marriage in the USA is dependent upon what percentage of her husband's salary she brings home. And I bet you can predict the results . . .

If we are going to retreat from Afghanistan, we ought to at least have the ovaries to look Aisha in the eye, and realize that the situation of the women of Afghanistan will, overall, significantly worsen once we leave. Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:00:37 -0700 RSSPECT-001142649 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#immigration Radical voices on either side--amnesty for all, deport them all--obscure the fact that Americans are moving towards a consensus. And that consensus is that neither blanket amnesty nor tolerance of illegality is sustainable.

And he can make it stick. Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:37:41 -0700 RSSPECT-001135132 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#equalvisibility "I would like the men in the room to imagine living in my world. Imagine how you would feel if all the statues inside and outside this building were of women, and all the paintings on the walls of this building were of women leaders, and when you opened your wallet to pay for your lunch only images of women were on the money, and every president and every vice president in our history was a woman. Would you stand where you stand today if that were our nation’s legacy?” Lynnette Long, The Equal Visibility Everywhere Project Sat, 17 Jul 2010 14:05:18 -0700 RSSPECT-001128991 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#cattquote Red State Feminists stumbled upon a quote from an early feminist in 1902. The author is Carrie Chapman Catt, and here is what she said . . . Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:11:06 -0700 RSSPECT-001111993 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#douthat That poor guy. Not only did he suggests conservatives could be feminist, he stated that the primary victories of Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley, and others was a "testament to the overall triumph of the women's movement." And then he had the audacity to say that the fact that women disagreed on political matters, even that of abortion and health care, was good for feminism!

Back in April, CNN reported that the Department of Justice had concluded that Pfizer, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, was too big to fail--or, actually, too big to prosecute because if they prosecuted it, it would fail, and the government could not bring itself to have that happen.

A woman's supreme sacrifice is worth as much to the United States of America as a man's supreme sacrifice . . . and it is time to recognize that with the National Mothers' Monument. Mon, 31 May 2010 00:02:40 -0700 RSSPECT-001096517 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#motherepi When you support mothers, you support the epigenetic work that they do with their children. The physical health consequences alone have a major impact on our nation; the emotional and psychological health consequences may also be vast. But in nations where mothers are not supported and protected from physical and financial harm, it is their children who will be, in effect, the revenge visited upon that society. Sun, 16 May 2010 20:13:28 -0700 RSSPECT-001086650 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#kagan Unintended as it might be, this nomination confirms in the minds of young women that to achieve at the highest levels, a woman must forfeit motherhood.  That is a truly lamentable message to be sending in the 21st century.

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:57:13 -0700 RSSPECT-001075651 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#nannycalvin Sometimes conservatives (and Red State Feminists are conservatives, to be sure) rail against the "nanny state" taking over everything, not allowing any freedom. There's some truth to that. But there is another truth that conservatives (except feminist conservatives, that is!) refuse to talk about--how our rich capitalist often act like Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes. Wed, 28 Apr 2010 08:54:11 -0700 RSSPECT-001074197 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#healthcareBF Red State Feminists were thrilled to discover that the health care reform bill has a secret gift for breastfeeding moms who work.
